Chamberlain refuses to Sign tin () Commissions of Whipper and 31uses. ^ On ^Saturday last, Gov. Chamheviaii j signed the commissions of Judges North \ rop and Maekcy. ():i Monday the L missions of the other'six judges elect v.v.t j presented to hiiu to sign, but he refused j to sign those of Whipper and Moses. He t bases his refusal on the constituri dial j question as to when ilio tonus of office ot Judge Reed and Shaw expire, claiming u that these judges are emitled to bold , their seats for a full term, provided b\ . the constitution, that is fir tour years. He concludes by saying: "While in some Cases presenting similar leg;;1 questions, it might not bo required of the Governs. "! to dec&fi lo issue com mis-ions, (he cir fc 'curastanecs of the p.esent case compel iut t *0 this course.'' 11 I * " V Amongst those who were elected to tin s bench on Thursday la>t. are two who are i well known to the people of this county. :l and by reputation are known to the per pie of the entire State. These arc Hon. v W. J. Whippcr, and P. L. Wiggin, Es<j I the former having beeu elected to the* ? fiir/ circuit, and the latter who has fbi 1 . t . .1 the oast eight years acted in the capneir. j of solicitor in this circuit with an sbilin ( that has beeu recognized by the party tt. ;i which he belongs ly twice electing him '! to his present official position, and again * by electing him to discha-ge stiil higher I and more im per' ant duties in ihepr.?fbs#ion a of law, to wit, Judge of the seconder j < euit. Hon. W. J. Whipper his eve: ' been iccoguize l as a roprescn ative man c of the race to which he be'ongs, and h:.? * elevation to the bench of oue^of the mo d 1 r important circuits in the S ate, is a just v * recognition of the rights of those who n form a majortv of the citizens ot South i Carolina. Th >ee whom they will succeed undoubtedly are men of ability?men well versed in Jaw?ot high social and mono character, but the position of eir uit : . judge is not a life office. It is the ger.iu- \ of American institutions, and a repubii \ can form of govennuent that the hum- j blest citizen in the land can aspire to and ; K attain any position for which his qualin 3 cations fit him, these q ua! ifica t !o nsr be i n g | ' recognized by their fellow-citizens. This , is a government of the people, by the people. We do not believe in the direful results j foreshadowed by the opposition press. | that life, liberty and property are en Jan- < gered by the elevation of these men. 1 neither do we believe that they will drag the judicial ermine through the mire, , but we are firm in our faith that the scales of justice will be held with an even hand, and at the end of four years, iJ called upon by the same power that elect- , ed them, they will lay aside their official 1 rgbcs unsullied. > < The secret is out at last. If has been "frequently asserted that the Tax Unions | " were not * political or partv organization, j X?at their object was merely by peaceful j oppression of public opinion to coerce the taxing power to light levies an I tin adoption of an economic financial policy in the State and county governments i But the Neics and Con-in- lias now | thrown down the brea-t works behind j ^hich they were fighting and says: " It was doubtful, at the time, ifilu Tax Unions could be? made nuinercu- and ss strong as was desired, and it is certain now that the advice of the Convention will not, in forui be carr cd out. <>:*:organization for the protection of the tax payers i* enough, and that organization, in the present temper of the people, ( must be the Democratic organization, with He clubs in evtyy Township. That can do all that reus expected </ the Ta r 1 Cnions, and more. " The Sews and Cuur'er which ha- j through its correspondents an. 1 editorially j for some time, beeu heaping abuse, and | eondemnirg the Republic m- f r .ha ving I party lines and voting solidly for pa:!* j measures and for recognized nu mb*... f their party for office, in its editorial ?>:: j Saturday has the following language: "The democratic party r.ri-t be so drilhd j pad officered that not a vote sha i be J |0M." >.AjnntthU mean ?. drawing i?; iht party tines of the democratic party ?

They must be drilled to stick together as a party, to vote for no one lor ftcQ who is not one of thein. We do not blame that paper fur such language, but we shui! expect that after tin. enunciation of such true parry ductriue, that that paper will cease to sit hi judgement for what they advocate f r th .i; own party.

Tho County Auditor will enter io tax without due process of law. ? The General Assembly of South Carina yesterday elected W. J. Whipper to I ie judge of the Fust Judicial Circuit for hat State. General Whinner is a black ;l nan and was raised in the State ot iichigau. After serving in the Cnited I1 ilutes army, at the close of the war. he ettled in South Carolina, lie was ?i '1 i.ember of the Constitutional Convention p ,nd has been a member of the ?io?>c ? f Representatives of the State shir* econairuetion with the exception of two u oars. He is regarded l?y tdose v.fio ;now hiiu as a good and .sound lawyer v n holiest and impartial rnau. We are riformeu that he is occ_of the most pop ilar black nu n in the State. The First fudici&l Circuit includes the city ol t 'harlestou, in which reside sumo of the s blest and most refined members of the lid bar (>f the State. \Y hipper being tin irsr black circuit judge elected in th.-r v it is hoped that he and the mem- v K3i> of the bar w 1 act harmoniously.

At the . dose of hostilities, he settled in Beaufort rod hegan the practice of law. to which f lie has t-vi-r since devoted himself assidu- . ?usly. For the last eight years he las'1 <erved acceptably a.-; the Solicitor of this 1 drcuit. He is a sound lawyer, an earnest ( idvoi-ate. nsi honest officer, and a courte- ms gentleman.

One immediate effect wii! oh riously be the reorganization of the dem-. < icnitir party within the State, as the only means left, in the judgement of its members, for opposing a solid and reliable front to tliis terrible crevassee of tnisgov ( eminent and public debauchery. L could i have wished, as a Republican, to have . kept off such an issue ; but L have a pro found beiief iu the logic of events : and 1 do not allow myself to think that tin goo i and honest luen of South Carolina J will find it impossible, because they arc ( organized as democrats, to give their help to whomsoever shali be best able to undo the terrible wrongs of last Thursday. j i The School Ttiml and the i:rce<lman\ ! itJit5*. j Judge J.J.
